For many years, Jorge Messi was one of the key figures in his son's career. He managed Lionel's affairs off the pitch and was by his side during the most pivotal moments of his professional journey. Notably, Jorge fought to secure the necessary medical treatment for his son at a young age, and later stayed with him in Barcelona when the family faced challenges after moving to Europe.
This loss is particularly painful for Lionel Messi: for decades, Jorge stood by his son not only as a father, but also as his agent, guiding one of the most remarkable football careers in history.
Reminder: Urgent! Plot to assassinate Lionel Messi revealed. Shocking!
